Easter Lily Orders

A Great Big Thank You!
Thank you to everyone who helped make Jay Stahl’s 80th birthday special! Jay noted that it was the best birthday party he has ever had.

Women’s Retreat
Please pray for the members of our congregation who will be participating in the Women’s Retreat this weekend. Though they will not be with us in worship on Sunday, we pray that they will have a meaningful retreat and safe travels.

Hymnal Orders
Hymnals can be ordered through Sunday, April 2. To fill the sanctuary with new hymnals, we need 475. There is a copy of the new hymnal at the welcome center if you would like to look at it. If you are planning to order a hymnal, or a few, please bring the completed order form to church with you and place it, with payment, in the offering plate. Alternatively, you can mail it to the church office. Please call the church office if you have any questions.

Current COVID Procedure
Pine Street Presbyterian Church will follow CDC guidelines to ease masking requirements and allow in-person gatherings, including food. While Dauphin and Cumberland Counties are in the low or medium community levels (according to the CDC’s “COVID-19 by County” page found at:
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html). Masks will be optional for all Pine Street events, including worship. Session and staff will monitor the community levels and change health and safety guidelines if the local counties are high. Worshipers are welcome to wear masks if that helps them feel comfortable in worship.
